^^^ Which Cyborg. She will be a lady from now on. She will no longer be a man.
Overeem tests positive for ridiculously high testosterone levels... rut'roh! http://www.usatoday.com/sports/mma/post/2012-04-04/nevada-overeem-fails-pre-fight-test-for-banned-substances/665116/1
What a massive disappointment. I am guessing he will lose his title shot, something I was really looking forward to. I wonder who will get to fight JDS........? Mir maybe?
I read on MMA Junkie Mir was psyched and wanted to step right in line. Too bad, 'Reem would have been a good fight.
Tom DeBlass signed by the UFC - graduated from the same University as me, and a NJ BJJ guy (like me, except he's a black belt!). I don't know him personally, but I'm stoked to see him fight and hopefully succeed.
Excellent card yesterday from Sweden. Pretty much all of the fights were very good. Siver looked great for his debut at 145, and had an incredibly tough opponent to test him in Nunes. Amazing back and forth action - fabulous fight. Nice result for Bahadurzada in his debut for the UFC. We really didn't get to see much as Thiago walked right into Siyar's fist and dropped like a sack of potatoes. I'll look forward to seeing Siyar fight again. Stann looked as good as I have ever seen him. He has the ability to be a force in the division, he just needs to learn how to deal with high caliber wrestlers. Good war between Silva and Gustaffson. Silva did all that he could do in dealing with the reach disadvantage. Gustaffson did a great job keeping Silva on the outside.
I hate rashad. Jones is pretty much unstoppable right now. Maybe hendo could luck out and catch him with an overhand right but otherwise jones is the class of lhw division.
I would really love to see Evans win, but Jones appears to be unstoppable right now. They really need to put together an Anderson Silva/Jon Jones fight for the LHW belt. It would be the greatest fight in MMA history. Or, I'd like to see Jones move up to HW.....
Gustaffson could be a threat to Jones in about 4 more fights ONLY cause of his style and height. The guy is awkward and difficult to find. I'm not saying Jones wont beat him, but in 2 years, it's will be interesting where this guy will be.
Agreed. I think a big contributor to Jones' success is his reach, and Gustaffson certainly has that as well. About 4 more fights makes sense......
Overeem is out, Mir is in against Junior Dos Santos. Too bad - I really feel that Overeem would have won the belt, and probably hold onto it for a long while. I guess he will eventually get his shot. Mir will need to get this fight to the ground fast. I hope he doesn't believe that his ever improving stand up is good enough to go toe-to-toe with JDS.
